Photographer Captures The Gritty Beauty Of New York City On His iPhone

In his latest project, photographer Leland Bobbé captures New York's neglected wall art — ripped and tattered posters plastered on buildings around the city — using only his smartphone.

"I find that the random rips and tears on posters on top of other posters and walls reveals an unintended collage quality that creates it’s own aesthetic balance," he writes of the project. "This yields an abstract expression based on gritty realism."
